“The future ain’t what it used to be.”
-Yogi Berra
Because America isn’t a nation, so much as an idea.
And Trump recognizes that he’s in control of what that idea can become. Democrats have, at least in recent history, represented an utterly incapable and worthless challenge to that vision. The “centrists”, if you can even call them that, capitulated entirely to Trump-ism in the period of 2020-2024. They aren’t a challenge to Trumpism.
Mamdani is giving voters an alternative vision of what the future can be, and that is the most threatening thing to both Trump and the management class of the DNC.
This is about controlling the narrative, and Mamdani shows what we progressives have always been saying: Put the policies on the table and the voters will vote for them. The things Mamdani is running on are wildly popular; some of the most popular policies that exist. And they break corporate control over our politics, something that hasn’t happens in the US in almost 60 years since the implementation of the southern strategy.
The war Trump is waging against the citizens of the US is no different that than why Putin invaded Ukraine: They are working to redefine the identity of a nation.
Mark my words, Trump will kidnap and murder Mamdani before he cedes control of the narrative which he believes is his own.
The actual weather weapon:
Every year, your total assets are assessed and every red cent required to bring you to below 1 billion dollars is taken.
IF you ended up getting taxed at this rate, a bench gets installed in a public park with a small placard having your name on it. You get to pick the park.

It’s not pseudoscience.
Approval is irrelevant and Trump knows it.

I mean this is why I served. I knew I didn’t have a home once I turned 18. No one in my family or extended family had been to college. Poor kid from a shitty school, I had no idea how to make it happen. So before I turned 18 I emancipated and shipped out. What I found was one of the most diverse workforce in the US, because its comprised of almost exclusively poor people from all across the US.
Big balls came again.
Without a political path forward we’re not given another choice.
there is only one joke we have to share it
